Excerpt from Shells and Shell-Guns
I shall abstain from entering upon any discussion of the general theory of Naval Ordnance, because my peculiar notions in this respect are now passing a practical ordeal which, if fully and properly con ducted, will be more conclusive than the most elaborate argument.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the evolution of naval warfare and the emergence of a new, powerful weapon: the explosive shell. The author, a keen observer of military technology, traces the history of projectiles, from their early, rudimentary forms to the sophisticated shells that revolutionized naval battles in the 19th century. The book explores the development of the mortar, howitzer, and cannon, emphasizing the crucial role played by General Paixhans in developing a system for using shells effectively in naval combat. The author analyzes the challenges and advantages of shells, their penetration capabilities, the intricacies of fuzes, and the optimal composition of ship batteries. The book illuminates the intense debate surrounding the use of shells, particularly in the context of the carronade, a controversial weapon designed to maximize the volume of shot fired. The author carefully distinguishes between the use of charged and uncharged shells, highlighting the importance of the former for their destructive power. He also explores the crucial role played by elevating sights, which enabled more accurate targeting of shells. This book offers a fascinating and detailed account of the development of naval ordnance in the early to mid-19th century, providing valuable insights into the technological advancements and tactical debates that shaped this critical period in naval warfare.
